QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:18 AM) That's why KW traded McCarthy for Soriano, but lost the deal when Soriano decided he wouldn't sign an extension and watned to test the FA market. Soriano probably wanted to make sure he played in a warm climate

Veal continues to do the job vs lefties

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:17 AM) I thought that manager quit last year. Saw somewhere that Ventura tried not to hype up the series

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:13 AM) I'll have my Dayan, thanks And O-Dog > Olmedo for me When Hudson makes the HOF, are you going to give his speech

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:14 AM) Getting swept by the team that is either just behind us or just ahead of us seems to be our thing. Win a single game in the series and it changes the entire thing. But no, we just bend over and then we have Konerko talking to the press about how x team is a good team or it's a marathon and not a sprint. No sense or urgency or being in the moment. And don't forget the token comment by Sox manager saying the particular series isn't all that important.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:13 AM) They've just looked tired this entire road trip. Not just their actions either...they literally look tired when camera catches close-ups. They took greg's advice from earlier the year and decided to be great at home, but they forgot to show up on the road. If they go on to lose tonight, that would be 8 of 9 on the road.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:12 AM) Ah, thanks. Would have been good to have as many lefties as possible tonight. lhp only hitting .300 against scherzer. Olmedo should have been playing instead of Beckham and Danks over Viciedo. The righties have no chance against that slider.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:11 AM) So yeah, I think we'll be tied by Monday morning. Could be much, much worse

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:10 AM) The dreaded lingering oblique strain. Cue Hawk monologue on the subject...back to his playing days, when he claimed to have one for 5 years. Cue Marty "blow up the Sox/fire KW" thread. Cue Greg "Sox will never beat the Tigers again" thread. How dare you forget "ARE YOU IN OR OUT" and "Was it over when..."

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:07 AM) So we can't beat the Royals or the Tigers. Another years were we shrug our shoulders and say get em tomorrow. Meanwhile the season eventually ends. If the Sox don't make the postseason, it will be a very interesting offseason. In my stupid opinion, I don't think we see Youk, Peavy or AJ back if that happens.

Hey Konerko, make a f***ing adjustment

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:06 AM) Why did dunn not start over konerko tonight? Just curious. He's hurt

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:05 AM) There's nothing to do but laugh anymore. Why get upset or frustrated? Pointless. Completely agree, this team controls their own destiny, but if they can't beat their main competition, then I guess we're rooting against the Tigers in the postseason.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:03 AM) Aj gonna be first pitch swinging? Of course...goodness, these veterans are killing this team right now

Nice start to the inning. I want to hear "It's All Good"

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:58 AM) Yep. Kids get too confident in their 99mph fastball and forget major leaguers can hit those. Or the catcher/coaching staff has no faith in being able to block a pitch in the dirt with a man on 3rd

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 01:56 AM) These are always not absolutely accurate because there are only certain kinds of opposite handed hitters they see and only certain times they see them -- not to mention sample size issues He's faced 141 righties on the year. That's a pretty big sample size.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 01:55 AM) Nate Jones is on my mental midget list. He's been very good this year, all things considered. Garcia wasn't touching an offspeed pitch from him.

Yep, that's about right

QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:53 AM) At least Bama is owning the overrated Wolverines. Floyd Mayweather isn't happy

Denard Robinson with the dumbest tackle attempt in recent history.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:50 AM) No idea where that 2-0 pitch missed Two different zones today

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:49 AM) If they can't win at home against bad teams in September, they're cooked. It's hard to imagine beating DET 3/4 with how things are going right now against the Tigers. Sox need to go 5-1 next week and hope the Tigers go 3-3. If the Sox do lose tomorrow, it's time to really start rooting against Oakland, Tampa, Baltimore and LAA.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:47 AM) Ridiculous managing by Ventura. I like what he's doing here playing the match-up. Even if Septimo walks Avila, it sets up the DP

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:46 AM) What a great time for this team to completely go to sleep. On the bright side, we play Minnesota at home after this series. Could be seeing some decent pitching from the Twins next week with Deduno, Diamond and Walters??
